Over the course of his career,
The Only Nolan
pitched 676 innings
and made 417 plate appearances.
Nolan
was worth
0.4 Wins Above Replacement
(-0.5 as a pitcher and 0.9 as a hitter)
and -4.7 Wins Above Average
(-5.3 as a pitcher and 0.6 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 0.4 WAR becomes
1.7 adjWAR. Then, WAA is adjusted by ignoring negative seasons
(thus, truly capturing a player’s peak seasons) and making similar adjustments for catchers and relief pitchers.
After these adjustments, the -4.7 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Nolan 1.7 wWAR. wWAR is then converted to Hall Rating.
A Hall Rating of 100 represents the Hall of Stats borderline (similar to OPS+ or wRC+, where 100 represents league average).
The Only Nolan has a Hall Rating of
2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
